Mindy Effertz

My communication style

My style is very laid back, open-minded, and strengths-based, and I love to bring in humor whenever possible. I do not practice any type of therapy that looks like just listening and saying, "How does that make you feel?". In a short period of time, my clients usually feel deeply understood and appreciated within our working relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

I loved helping those who struggled with their mental health, which led me to pursue counseling. I've been working in this field, supporting clients through their challenges and celebrating their growth.

My goals for you

I follow a meet-them-where-they're-at approach. My personal values and opinions are never part of goal-setting. I celebrate and am ready to work on any goal you identify as a path toward improved lifestyle, functioning, and mood.

Our first session

In our first session, I want to make sure you feel comfortable and all questions are answered. I will complete an assessment, and we will work together to identify goals. Before the end, we will feel confident that our working relationship is a good fit and ideally be excited and hopeful about building a better future.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
